What You Do Not Know About Ebola Virus Can Kill You

Recently, the Ebola virus has outstripped Guinean borders; the
whole continent is in danger. Not only is the epidemic killing
but it also has the power to change your perception. In fact,
after this scourge, the world is not able to see Africans as
usual anymore. This is not racism; this is fear of catching
diseases.

Although pity and assistance have been given for HIV cases,
reservations have been also voiced. That is to say, people are
afraid of Africans. At the present time, countries only close
their borders for African countries reached by the virus, but
soon, they will definitely protect them from the whole continent.
However, this is not going to happen if we either find an
acceptable cure or change our mind. Let me remind you a universal
law: “no one, naturally, wants to kill someone”. Don’t be afraid!
No African is that crazy to expose the virus if he knows exactly
that he might have been infected. Because, spreading it means
killing people. Moreover, nobody apart from us is well placed to
describe you the effects of virus. Don’t be scared! All Arabian
peoples are not terrorists. The same way, All Africans are not
carrying HIV/AIDS or Ebola virus. I wish after reading this
article you are not afraid to take a plane or bus because the
African and the Arabian sitting next to you can be a normal guy
like you who carries no virus and who has no bomb in him/her.

Therefore, take all the necessary precautions to prevent yourself
from any infection, but do not let it change your perception or
your relationship.
